Big news. Hopefully users get the best of both as a result - Stripe billing + Metronome. While these companies figure out a merger of these products, we at
https://uselark.ai/ are happy to onboard customers for their billing needs. Some nice things about us -
1. Our usage based billing system supports 10x the throughput of metronome or stripe and is much more flexible.
2. You don't have to manage any webhooks and store custom billing state (like stripe customer id) in your database. We take care of it all (here's our quickstart: https://docs.uselark.ai/)
3. We support more pricing models (dimensional pricing like per region rate, prepaid credits with automated topups & rollovers, etc). Rolling out pricing changes is also seamless.
4. Our APIs are simple. For example, you don't have to integrate with a separate checkout API. We also provide frontend SDKs to check billing state (like remaining credits, feature access).
